Interactive and Augmented Modelling (IAM)

Our research is focused on developing mathematical tools, interactive and augmented reality visualization environments. The main application field is biomedical image processing.

The group is a multidisciplinary team (including mathematicians and computer science engineers) specialized in the treatment and analysis of biomedical images. They use graphics techniques and mathematical models for the visualization and modelling of anatomic and biological structures for a better clinical diagnosis. Modelling includes extraction of, both, the geometry (contour segmentation and shape description) and dynamics (tracking of the movement or deformation) of the organ or cell under study. Visualization focuses on the development of virtual environments providing efficient manipulation of the computational model at local and remote (via internet) level.
